dpd project [VERSION 2!] [Full List of Discs] [FAQ] [Find A Song or Band] [Message Board]      

Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

Random DPD Pick:


Riders On The Storm
by: The Doors
from: L.A. Woman

Picked By: prokop
For: DPD: 082 - Instrument: Keyboards-Piano-Organs

I learned a little tid bit a while ago that explained to me why I like Ray Manzeral so much. For many of The Doors' early years they really didn't have a true bass player, and that Ray played a 'keyboard bass', such as on 'Light My Fire'.

Even after acquiring a full time bass driver, he still totally runs this song, weaving between solos and beat keepers.

Another cool fact, after the keyboard finally fades and the thunder rumbles around 6:50 in the song, you can jump back to about the 8 second mark and listen to this song on infinite loop for a really really long time.
